Wonder what it's like eloping to some the most epic backdrops in Ireland? 

The Causeway Coast is a haven of dramatic cliffs, mystical castles, and pristine beaches that serve as the perfect backdrop for your elopement.

From the enchanting ruins of Dunluce Castle & Dunseverick Castle to the sweeping basalt rocks of Giant's Causeway, each location presents a unique opportunity to showcase your love against breathtaking natural wonders.

Embracing Intimacy.
Celebrate connection.

Planning a traditional wedding often entails navigating guest lists, logistics, and societal expectations. However, with an elopement, you can prioritize intimacy, focusing solely on the profound connection between you and your partner. It's a chance to create authentic moments are undeniably yours.
 

Endless Creativity

While weddings can be a canvas for creativity, they can also be constrained by tradition and external pressures. Elopements, on the other hand, provide the freedom to design a day that truly reflects your personalities, passions, and dreams. Whether it's exchanging vows atop a picturesque cliff or dancing under the stars, the canvas is yours to paint.

When you want to celebrate love but don't want a traditional wedding...

Tailoring to Your Vision

Elopements offer a simpler path, allowing you to prioritize what truly matters to you as a couple. From choosing a dream destination to selecting meaningful vows, every detail can be tailored to your unique vision.

Experiencing Adventurous Romance

Weddings often follow a structured timeline, leaving little room for adventure. Elopements, however, invite you to explore the world hand-in-hand, creating moments of shared discovery and exhilaration. Picture exchanging vows on a secluded beach or in the enchanting forests of Ireland, embracing the beauty of nature as witness to your love.

Redefining Tradition

Elopements challenge the conventional notion of weddings, allowing couples to redefine what it means to celebrate love. You have the freedom to blend elements of tradition with personal touches, creating a ceremony that resonates deeply with your values and love story. It's an opportunity to craft a day that is authentically and unapologetically yours.


Here's what Kari & Chris said...

"We eloped on the Causeway Coast and we got Cinematic Tide as our videographer and couldn’t be more thrilled with that decision. Their stunning work speaks for itself but we were also so impressed how Sam, Dani and Calvin made the planning and day of experience so fun and meaningful for us. We had a zoom call with the three of them ahead of us traveling to Northern Ireland.

They asked such great questions that made us feel like they were really getting to know us and our story. They also offered such great advice around our travel and elopement arrangements which made us more prepared for the big day.

We then received an amazing social media highlight just a few days after and our full wedding video a few weeks later and both were absolutely stunning, and such a perfect reflection of our beautiful day

Elopements or Weddings?

Whatever you pick, elopements and weddings do have their pros and cons. Ultimately dream of what you would like your day to be like, and who you want there and plan your wedding or elopement around that.

"Sam and Dani are an absolute dream. From our initial skype meet-and-greet to the wedding day, they were kind, open to suggestions, and helpful.

They were concerned with making sure they understood what we wanted from our wedding photos and video, but also stayed true to their amazing creative and artistic skills.

The resulting photos and video are absolutely stunning and are treasures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. They are truly talented at what they do and made our photography/video dreams come true.

EVERY MOMENT TELLS YOUR STORY

We fell in love with weddings 12 years ago because we saw how empowering telling stories of human connection, relationships and families remind us of who we are and what is important in life.

There’s something powerful about honesty and authenticity. For us there are no staged or weird poses. Sure we will give you some direction as you have never done this before. But the rest is up to you to create those moments together!

It doesn't matter if it's small and intimate weddings or elopements, big, grand and elegant weddings. We want to create intentional stories that mean something to you.
